Under traditional Unix loaders (ld), the order in which items are
specified in the command line matters. Without this patch, -lm appears
before libparrot.a, so at the time libm is encountered, no symbols are
needed and nothing is loaded. Subsequently, upon encountering
libparrot.a, a number of math/trig-related symbols end up undefined.
(See the Solaris tinderbox logs, for example). The traditional Unix ld
does not backtrack and rescan -lm again.
This patch corrects the order of arguments in lib/Parrot/Test.pm so that
programs will at least link correctly. The t/src/intlist test still fails
for me -- I just got
t/src/intlist.......# Failed test (t/src/intlist.t at line 108)
# got: 'Step 1: 0
# Failed:
# '
# expected: 'Step 1: 0
# Step 2: 1
# Step 3: 2
# Step 4: 255
# Step 5: 256
# Step 6: 257
# Done.
# '
-- but that's a matter for separate investigation.
